If I'm right, it was cause Henry Fonda had been previously casted in 'good guy' roles. Leone (The director) wanted the audience be shocked when they showed Fonda's face after gunning down that kid. Read more from imdb trivia about the movie
@maureencora1 - Nobody else could made Harmonica what he was except Charles Bronson. Sergio Leone cast this move perfectly-IMHO this is the GREATEST Western ever done.
@BahnfreakDE I'm not sure, but i know he also had a role in The Good The Bad and The Ugly as the guy Tuco shoots while in the tub, and killed himself right after he was done.
i really love and appreciate great westerns like this thanks to my dad. Im 14 btw and i love watching classic movies with greatt actors in like tonight im gonna watch Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro!
@WeLuvTiki Henry Fonda was Sergio Leone's favorite actor. Leone offered him "The Bad" in the Good, Bad and Ugly but Fonda turned it down just as he did the year before when he turned down Col. Mortimer in For A Few Dollars More. Next Leone offered both roles to Charles Bronson who also turned them down. Both parts then went to Lee Van Cleef. Bronson said when those films turned out to be huge hits in Europe and US, he said yes when Leone asked a third time and clearly Fonda did too!
Note how it only shows close ups from two of the bad guys. The guy playing the third, Al Muloch had just commited suicide and some other guy is playing him in this scene.
yep, one of the best. Spaghetti westerns ruled the day, and I hope people don't forget them, and a must watch....fist full of dollars, for a few dollars more, good bad and ugly, and this awesome movie, once upon a time in the West....GET SOME, signed, Sergio
This has to be one of my favorite westerns, the picture was so beautiful. I never seen such a realistic picture of a western like this, and sadly i may never will.
but bob... who could ever forget terrence hill in the hilarious bitch-slap scene with 'wildcat' the gunslinger in the 'trinity' flick? i watch all, and can only imagine a 'real' world like that!
eastwood vs. bronson? damn, that's a tough call, but i think i would side with bronson. he's not so abrasive. he would withdraw into the shadows, then make a cold and calculated attack on eastwood.
@jacklazzell From what I've read, back in those days the fastest guns in Hollywood were Sammy Davis, Jr. and Lee Van Cleef. But Davis didn't get in many westerns due to being black and Van Cleef often had to let the other guy win as he usually played a bad guy who gets it. The last thing Van Cleef did befor he passed two weeks later was a Baravian beer TV spot that is here on YouTube. The DP on the shoot said he would draw and fire in less that one frame of film.
yup... the dude was downright badass, next only akin to clint eastwood, who i seem to remember saying to the tune of... as the preacher was asking where these good people are going to stay? 'out'. that was cool.

I love that you can really hear the true sounds of a real steam locomotive (up close & crystal clear). I've never heard this in any other western movie. Listen for it and try to block out all the other sounds and just focus on the sounds of the locomotive's steam. It sounds like the locomotive is alive (and breathing). Listen from 0:02 - 0:30. Thanks for posting this great clip. :-)

OneAthiest... Actually bronson did get shot here, he takes one in the arm and uses the buttons in his shirt to make a sling for himself. The man just places his pistol in the top of his bag and keeps on going. :-)
THIS IS A GREAT WESTERN, IM A HUGE BRONSON FAN. IT LOOKS SO WEIRD WITH HENRY FONDA AS THE BAD GUY. THIS MOVIE HAS A LOT OF INTENSE SCENES , LIKE THIS OPENING SCENE, LOVE THIS MOVIE.
I dont know if its true or not but apparantly leone wanted clint eastwood, lee van cleef, and eli wallach to play the bandits waiting for charles bronson at the train station, cleef and wallach were eager to do it but eastwood was filming i think "sudden impact" so couldent make it and substituted "micheal j fox" for the role of gnarly gunslinger with "doc brown" as the other gunslinger.
Never saw Jack Elam play a serious villain role before. He was really good in supporting Jim Garner in Support Your Local Sheriff. Bronson, Eastwood, even Wayne- none were truly excellent actors with great depth. But they did play the roles they were good at very well, and managed to come out as great entertainers anyway. Helps that they had some well written & directed movies they were featured in. I would say they were masters of their genre. Which happens to be the category I like best.
Three hour long movie with a grand total of 15 pages of dialogue in it. This is not however the greatest western ever made. This is the greatest movie ever made. No storyboard, Leone had the entire movie filmed in his head and insisted on perfection. They spent have an entire day filming this scene because Leone wanted the drip of water to fall on a certain spot on Strode's hat.
To my taste, this is one of the greatest Western scenes filmed. The preceding moments of boredom (unfortunately not captured here; water-droplets, flies. etc.) add beautifully to the one-minute transition period from absolute boredom to complete disaster... Western at its finest.
If its true that Leone was going to use The Good, Bad, and Ugly cast as the 3 gunman. Its clear that the Woody Strode character would have been Eastwood, Elam would have been Van Cleef, and the other guy Eli Wallach. It makes sense...only Eastwood could get a shot off on Bronson.
@ZaireBetter --- From What I read, Leone wanted to kill off Lee Van Cleef, Eli Wallach and Clint Eastwood in this scene as a symbolic move, having Bronson kill off the 3 characters from the trilogy...Van Cleef and Wallach agreed but Eastwood refused...
@77brewers Eastwood was offered to play the role of Harmonica but turned it down. Its only a rumor that was never confirmed that Leone wanted all 3 (Cleef, Wallach and Eastwood) to face Bronson in that scene. In '67, Eastwood was filming Coogan's Bluff, Hang 'Em High, and had just opened Malpaso Productions in the U.S. He just didn't have the time.
Holy shit! I've been trying to find this movie 4ever! I saw it overdubbed in Europe when I was a kid. Didn't know the name of it, but I remember the harmonica.
To me Woody Strode is a black Clint Eastwood. He dominates every scene he's in. He was such an awesome athlete, and a really under-rated actor. Notice he's also the only guy that actually wounded Harmonica?
@jstealth89 yeah, what John Wayne, John Ford and american directors could never understand is that the Far West was about dollars, bad and ugly men, mexican outlaws, whores, whisky and bounty killers. Not about pretty blonde girls and perfectly shaved cowboys.
Initially Leone wanted to choose the three actors of Good Bad and Ugly for this scene (Eastwood, Wallach, Van Cleef) but he didn't manage to gather them, unfortunately for us...
@lbourgeot It's because that would cause a paradox and eventually the birth of a black hole. Charles Bronson can't kill Clint Eastwood and Clint Eastwood can't kill Charles Bronson.
@SeppukuDoll no. thats not completely true. theres only one person who Clint Eastwood can't kill, and thats John Wayne. and John Wayne can't kill Clint Eastwood. You notice how i capitalized their names? thats because if you dont, theyll find you, and kill you. both these men are worse than Chuck Norris, who still deserves capitalization.
@SeppukuDoll charles bronson does his best to ruin this movie, so pissed off he got cast in this, would have been better than god bad ugly without him
@myrtlebox wow he does a "fantastic job" in one scene. he is the most wooden actor ive seen in a decent movie or better. if you argue against charles bronson being an average actor at best, then you either don't understand film, or you don't enough about it to realise
@jagscalabrine I was never a Bronson fan. I agree with your overall assessment of his acting ability. But this role fit his vanilla style. Leone's overall tone was very laconic for this movie which allowed the real star to shine through - Ennio Moriconnes score.
TGTBATU is my #1 all-time favorite movie with the cemetery showdown being the best coupling of music and film ever made.
By the way, if you have not seen the movie "Incendies," I highly recommend it !!
@SeppukuDoll Well if Eastwood and Bronson can't kill eachother...then Leone should've paired them up as partners taking over the freaking world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll say. I mean come on, when you can hear a single harmonica fifty feet away and from the other side of a roaring train, the player has got to be some kind of godlike entity.
THE ORIGINAL ACTORS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS SCENE WERE,,,,,,CLINT EASTWOOD,LEE VAN CLEEF AND ELI WALACH FROM THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY!!!SERGIO LEONE WANTED TO REUNITE ALL THREE BUT THE IDEA WAS CANCELLED DUE TO VARIOUS STUDIO HASSLES
Before Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris and Charles Bronson die, I'm going to acquire some of their sperm, freeze it, and after armageddon, Find good breeder chicks and raise a race of the most bad-ass human beings to ever live.
the guy that shot him fired a shotgun, its possible he got clipped by buckshot but not serious enough to be lethal, and so it wouldn't take as long to heal.
@MAnnaconduit1 Shotgun? That's actually a shortened Winchester called a "Mare's Leg" which was the name given to Steve McQueen's shortened Winchester in the show, "Wanted: Dead or Alive."
ahhh your right, it was hard to see becasuse he shoots it so fast i can't really see the gun ,i thought it was one of those sawn off shotguns and it sounded sort of like a shotgun that's why i assumed....my bad, normally I can beter distinguish guns
Jack Elam, Woody Strode and Al Mulock has created the best scene on this movie. the first 12 minutes are the best, this and the soundtrack of Ennio Morricone.
Sergio, an Italian, made THE best westerns in my humble opinion. He also did "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", among many others. Some people say his movies are "slow", but I actually appreciate it. It's "slow" because he's showing you what the West was really like back then; he's packing it full of detail. Anyone can show you the gunfight, but not everyone can show you the lull that lead up to the gunfight.
Thanks for this clip! This movie is $5 at Walmart, if anyone is interested.
In the full version of the movie it ends showing Harmoncia opening his eyes,sitting up, and walking off. Which is fine, but Sergio wanted it edited just showing the windmill leaving Harmoncia's fate some what open. This idea I like better because it makes his appearance at the bar/way station so much more awesome. In either case great scene.
I love that Harmonica takes a bullet in his very first scene. It's like Leone was trying to tell the audience that this guy wasn't going to be the comic book hero the Man with No Name was. Still badass, but definitely mortal.
Didn't the Frank - Henry Fonda gun down some kid in the movie? Which caused a big stink at that time.

Holy crap, what a director
No one directs with this much skill anymore. There are still good directors, but not of Leone's caliber

Initially Leone wanted to choose the three actors of Good Bad and Ugly for this scene (Eastwood, Wallach, Van Cleef) but he didn't manage to gather them, unfortunately for us...

@lbourgeot It's because that would cause a paradox and eventually the birth of a black hole. Charles Bronson can't kill Clint Eastwood and Clint Eastwood can't kill Charles Bronson.

@SeppukuDoll no. thats not completely true. theres only one person who Clint Eastwood can't kill, and thats John Wayne. and John Wayne can't kill Clint Eastwood. You notice how i capitalized their names? thats because if you dont, theyll find you, and kill you. both these men are worse than Chuck Norris, who still deserves capitalization.

@myrtlebox wow he does a "fantastic job" in one scene. he is the most wooden actor ive seen in a decent movie or better. if you argue against charles bronson being an average actor at best, then you either don't understand film, or you don't enough about it to realise
jagscalabrine 3 months ago
@jagscalabrine I was never a Bronson fan. I agree with your overall assessment of his acting ability. But this role fit his vanilla style. Leone's overall tone was very laconic for this movie which allowed the real star to shine through - Ennio Moriconnes score.
TGTBATU is my #1 all-time favorite movie with the cemetery showdown being the best coupling of music and film ever made.
By the way, if you have not seen the movie "Incendies," I highly recommend it !!

@SeppukuDoll Well if Eastwood and Bronson can't kill eachother...then Leone should've paired them up as partners taking over the freaking world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll say. I mean come on, when you can hear a single harmonica fifty feet away and from the other side of a roaring train, the player has got to be some kind of godlike entity.

the guy that shot him fired a shotgun, its possible he got clipped by buckshot but not serious enough to be lethal, and so it wouldn't take as long to heal.

@MAnnaconduit1 Shotgun? That's actually a shortened Winchester called a "Mare's Leg" which was the name given to Steve McQueen's shortened Winchester in the show, "Wanted: Dead or Alive."

Jack Elam, Woody Strode and Al Mulock has created the best scene on this movie. the first 12 minutes are the best, this and the soundtrack of Ennio Morricone.

Sergio, an Italian, made THE best westerns in my humble opinion. He also did "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", among many others. Some people say his movies are "slow", but I actually appreciate it. It's "slow" because he's showing you what the West was really like back then; he's packing it full of detail. Anyone can show you the gunfight, but not everyone can show you the lull that lead up to the gunfight.
Thanks for this clip! This movie is $5 at Walmart, if anyone is interested.

MegaNIKID 1 year ago
In the full version of the movie it ends showing Harmoncia opening his eyes,sitting up, and walking off. Which is fine, but Sergio wanted it edited just showing the windmill leaving Harmoncia's fate some what open. This idea I like better because it makes his appearance at the bar/way station so much more awesome. In either case great scene.
DarthNuke 1 year ago
I just love it how Harmonica slowly shakes his head and then says "You brought 2, too many". The slow shaking adds so much to the whole dialog.

I love that Harmonica takes a bullet in his very first scene. It's like Leone was trying to tell the audience that this guy wasn't going to be the comic book hero the Man with No Name was. Still badass, but definitely mortal.
